 This is code from the dynamic-cabal project, but I've distilled it into an
 easier test case. Basically you load a module that calls the Cabal
 configure function, and we try to call a function and get the result. This
 works fine if the executable is compiled with -dynamic, but segfaults (on
 Ubuntu at least) if the executable is static.
 I've had that behavior since 7.8.1 and I've seen several similar bugs come
 and be fixed, but the issue is still present in 7.8.4 rc1
 (ghc-7.8.3.20141119)
 I attach the full project, with the cabal file, the Main.hs module that
 loads the DynamicCabalQuery.hs module
